document preparatory to its presenta
tion to the Chinese plenipotentiaries.
They have no Information on the sub
ject , as nothing has been heard from
Mr. Conger on the matter for some
days. The undeistanding hero has
been that the joint note , as agreed
upon by the CIIVOJH , was In the main
satisfactory to the British govern
ment. It simnlv dcslroil a
amendment to the scope of the agree
ment. This did not conflict with any
of the principles held cut for by our
government. Such being the cnso it
was confidently expected the signature
of the British minister would bo
promptly aflixed to the agreement and
the note presented to the Chinese at
nn early day.

LINCOLN , Dec. 17. The extremely
rapid growth of the cattle Industry In
NobniHka. has prompted the proposal of
several very important measures for
the ( onsldenitlon of the next legisla
ture. Krotu the great cattle plains come
up ] < MS ! for more effective legislation ,
and with a view fo remedying the in-
oflkicncy of existing laws a bill lias
been prepared , under the direction of
the olllccrs of the Northwestern Cattle
men's association , which la designed
to Increase and extend the protection
pi ( Hided for cattle owners and ranch
men. The mcMsuro contemplates an
amendment to the Ilrnnd Marks Com
mission act reducing the membership
of that commission to one man , and re
vision for the Inspection of qattlo at
the markets , Inspection of hides nnd
the publication of an ofllclnl brand
book.
Senator-elect , T. II. Van Bosklrk of
Allanco will probably Introduce the
proposed bill in the legislature. Ho
has been secretary of the Northwestern
Cattlemen's association for bcveral
yours , and It is said that his bill will
reflect the wishes of the other ofllcers
and members cf the organization.
The principal object of the bill will
be to give cattle owners absolute pro
tection against thieves.
"If wo succeed In enacting the pro-
poued law a man who steals a cow
cannot escape detection unless ho do-
htroys the hide nnd cats the animals , "
bald Mr. Van Boskirk. "Provision
will bo made for registering nil brands
and for the publication of an official
brand book , nnd a man will have to
prove ownership before he can law
fully dispose of any cattle. If he takes
a quarter of a cow to market , he will
have to exhibit the hide as an evidence
that it Is his property. The official
brand bonk will enable the purchaser
to compare the registered brand with
the brand on the hide and determine
whether they are the sam In design.

LINCOLN , Dee. 15. One of the In-
numeiablo bills that will bo Intro
duced in the next legislature for the
benefit of cattlemen of western Ne
braska wll pi o vide for reconstructing
the state marks and brands commis
sion and changing In many places the
law which governs nnd regulates the
exercise of KB authority. It \ & pro
posed to reduce the membership of the
commission to one man , who shall
maintain a permanent office at the
state house , and to raise the fed
charged for registering a brand from
$1.50 to 5:5.50. : The existing commis
sion Is composed of four members , In
cluding the secretary of state , each pf
whom shares equally the proceeds
from the registration of brands.
S. P. Delatour of Llowe'.lyn , presi
dent of the Northwestern Cattlemen's
association and member of the Nebras
ka commission , Is one of the men who
are urging the proposed change s. Ho
hiis devoted more time to the work of
the commission than any other man
and Is Interested In secinj , ' its authori
ty and Jurisdict.on extended so fur as
possible. During the few months of
its existence the board has registered
over 3,000 brands , and applications for
nearly 5,000 have been passed upjn ,
many of which were returned because
of duplication. Cattlemen In all parts
of Nebraska are manifesting consid-
rablo interest in the work , believing
that the time Is not far distant when
the official registration of brands will
greatly benefit their class.
One of the arguments used In sup
port of the plea for the amendments
Is that the work of the commission
could bo much more successfully pros
ecuted by one man giving his entire
time than by four men who meet only
periodically. It Is also argued that an
Increase in the fee would enable the
commissioner to enforce the law and
bring It Into more general operation.
However , the matter of fees Is con
sidered of secondary importance and
the increase would probably not be
urged should it meet with any strong
opposition.
